XAVIERS NEWS & FEATURES E-SERVICE (XNFES) Xavier's student is Infosys ambassador St Xavier's Media Cell
Mapusa, Sept 9: Mark Rocha, a Third Year student of St Xavier's College, Mapusa has been selected as a campus ambassador for IT giant Infosys' campus ambassador programme. He will train at the company's Bangalore and Mysore campuses from September 25 to 30. The Mass Communication and Videography student was selected from among 12 final year students of the college, following a presentation, discussion and interview session, conducted by Infosys' Human Resources' executive, Anima Jacob. Talking about the programme formerly known as Progeon, Ms Jacob pointed out that the student selected as an ambassador would "create awareness about the IT industry in the college" and in turn aide the company's recruitment drive to be held early next year. "The ambassador is required to conduct awareness programmes (about the industry's various fields) once he gets back, for students, teachers and parents," said the 25-year-old Jacob. Delighted at the selection of Rocha, Principal Newman Fernandes said, "Mark has good communication skills and also maintains good relations with people, he will do thorough justice as an ambassador." Further elaborating on the campus ambassador programme, Jacob informed, "It is targeted at the top graduate colleges in the country and even though it is IT- related, students aren't aware of what jobs are available and what the requirements are," said Ms Jacob adding that the programme answers such questions. Infosys campus ambassador programme was initiated in the country three years ago and saw 65 student ambassadors selected last year. This year, 124 will be selected throughout the country, informed Ms Jacob adding that " Goa has figured on the ambassador map for the first time and a student each from St Xavier's and Panjim-based Dhempe and Dempo Colleges was selected. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
